This lecture reviews the tumultuous changes taking place in the nuclear industry; from its enthusiastic beginnings, through the darker days and on to the current resurgence. It explores the future of nuclear power as a major solution to energy security and climate change issues.

Dr Ulrich Eichhorn's lecture covers the original design and development of the Bentley V8 engine, from its introduction in 1959, in their S2 model, through to its present day form in the newly launched Bentley Brooklands coupe.

With contributions from several senior figures involved with the engine's creation and evolution over the last 50 years, the talk will describe how a well thought out concept and its careful execution have carried the design through to 2009, while other contemporaries have long since fallen by the wayside.

Hi ,everyone I find this page very useful ,it has many free mechanical luctures,maybe you well find something useful like me .Please enjoy!

Giving presentations at conferences or seminar series is a vital part of a researcher's professional life.  Listening to others' presentations is also one of the best ways to stay current with the frontier of a research field. While the audience in conference/seminar room is often limited, a presentation posted online can be virtually viewed by any interested audience. At iMechanica, users have started to post their presentation slides, quite often as the attachments of a post briefing the presentation.  Such a way is simple and effective, but may not be the best way for everyone for the following reasons:

A video hosting service, also known as video sharing service allows
individuals to upload video clips to an Internet website.

Hi i am asha working for PhD using FEM technique ,i am writing my code in c++ and facing problem in frontal solver in backspacing stage.My pointer do not read the data from begining of the last line.Since one year i am struck-up at this stage.Can you suggest what is equivalent commond od back space in c++.Can you give me coding for frontal solver in C++.

In today's class of complex analysis, my co-instructor Scott Norris was lecturing on resonance.  He mentioned a YouTube video of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  Also instructive is the entry of the bridge on Wikipedia. 

Michael Brenner has just pointed out to me this video of the Moebius transformations.

While preparing a talk on iMechanica , I came across the following video "Information R/evolution" by Michael Wesch, an assistant professor of anthropology at Kansas State University.  This thought provoking video echoes a recent comment on "The future of knowledge?"

Enjoy!

Recently I saw an animation
named “The inner life of the cell”, which was made by Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Harvard University Biovision. It can be watched online only:

As the mit show the OCW, the berkeley relases the class video at youtube, which could benefit the students all over the world. Enjoy it!  

I just remembered another video that I had seen some time ago.  Many of you have probably seen it but here it is for those who have not. (The original page where I found it is http://www.maniacworld.com/Laminar-Reverse-Flow.html.)

Prof. Pat McMurtry's explanation is:

The following video is a nice depiction of how the eigenmodes of a plate change with increasing forcing frequency.

From Youtube via Mark Chu-Carroll -> Art of Problem Solving:

A video that shows how some common couplings work. It's an advertisement but interesting nevertheless.  Does anyone know how the Thomson coupling works and what its main drawbacks are? It seems a bit complex and will probably have a higher rate of failure than simpler geometries - but maybe not?
